Yeah, these sorts of requests have all but dried up on my server over the last
few years, but it was fun to have them all hammer on Microsoft's servers

Me neither, but if I was to hazard a guess, I would say that:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} :/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ - [F]
matches any query strings with ":/" in them, and returns a 403 forbidden
error. Though, I am not sure ":/" is interpreted literally or not. Doesn't
look like any PCRE i've seen...
